too easy to allow me to have some of those jacket-efforty ons there. Ha ha ha. Ooh, excuse me. So I was sort of eating and trying to time me mouthful so that I could come in on Mr. Lee at the very first call, because I got my mouth full. But yes, how can I put it? I think we ought to be trained to be retired, you know, because nobody ever told me when I was retired from work that I would be the busiest I've ever been in my life, and it's been one of those unbelievably busy days today with so many things to sort out. And oh dear, many professionals who are not doing their job and not putting on information is untrue. But yes, there we go, that's another story for another day. And so I sought people out, and I've been asked to do another communication badge for the Scouts in January, and I spoke to somebody about it and sent me a message asking if I'd do it, and I said yeah, no problem, so I love encouraging the kids to do it. Ah well, we'll get in touch in the near the years, and make it bloody worth it, you'll be in touch with me now. It's going to take some sorting out. Last time it was just less than an hour, which very nicely fitted in with the pre-health and wellness net, and I think it was Doug and Amy very kindly stepped in and helped out. This time there's a two hour slot, because it's the older, I think it's Cubs, I'm not sure if it's Cubs or the Scouts, I think it's probably the Cubs. Which actually was quite fun, the last one was 2023. So it means that a lot of the kids that are going to be doing it this time in January will have done it back in 2023, so yeah. So I was trying to get that organised and initiate people to get it done sooner rather than later, once it's all organised and we can sit back and relax and enjoy Christmas. And then in the UK, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, Radio Sceams is the only word I can describe it. The governing body, the RSGB, the same as your ARL and the actual regulator, the Ofcom which is like your FCC, have decided that they're going to change the call signs for all the people like myself who have the intermediate or the middle licence. It used to be 2 in 1s or 2 in 0s. We're now going to be M8s and M9s. Why? Why the change? Nobody can tell me. It's ridiculous. And of course they announced it, they opened up the automatic portal for people to do it online. And that will take a quick bit.
